Our Babylon Injury Lawyers Fight for Damages Based on Your Dog Bite Injuries

Any dog bite could have serious consequences. Infection is always a risk, so seeing a doctor promptly is advised. Some of the care you might need after a serious dog bite in Suffolk County, NY, includes:
  • Cleaning and disinfecting the wound
  • Tetanus shots
  • Preventative antibiotics
  • Stitches or sutures
  • Pain management
  • Rabies vaccination, if the dog is not vaccinated or if the dog cannot be found
  • Surgery
  • Physical therapy for nerve or muscle damage
  • Infection treatment
  • Wound drainage for serious infections
If you or a loved one has significant injuries from a dog bite incident, the cost of medical care could be high. Our Babylon injury lawyers do not believe you should have to pay these costs if you did nothing to provoke the dog. This is especially true if the dog owner disobeyed the law, such as New York’s leash laws. When we seek money for our clients, the types of damages often include:
  • Economic: Current and future medical care, lost income, reduced ability to earn, property damages, out-of-pocket costs
  • Non-economic: Pain and suffering, emotional distress and trauma stemming from the physical injury, disfigurement and scarring, diminished quality of life
In the most serious cases, dog bite victims pass away from their injuries. Our team extends our deepest condolences if this happened to your family member. We want to get justice for them. The Babylon wrongful death lawyers on our team work with spouses, children, parents, or personal representatives to recover lost income, lost services, and the victim’s pain and suffering.

Our Babylon, NY, Injury Lawyers Understand the State’s Dog Bite Laws

New York State’s dog bite laws can make cases complex to prosecute. While property owners—including dog owners—are often held legally responsible for the injuries that occur because of their negligence, there are additional considerations in dog bite cases. More specifically, establishing the dog’s history of violent behavior, described in the case law as the dog’s “vicious propensity,” can play a significant factor in making a successful claim or lawsuit. This is where investigation–for example, speaking with neighbors, delivery people, and postal carriers–can make a critical difference.  Our Babylon injury attorneys know how to handle these claims and pursue appropriate compensation for our clients.
